I have tried to convince people (Indians and some Chinese) to join IV. People don't. They don't believe IV has the capability to get anything done. A lot of people don't care if IV existed or not. They believe that Congress will get to it when it deems right. Core members were asking a few weeks ago if that is the message people are sending. Yes it is.
Yeah. We know that. A lot of people think IV cannot get anything done. IV never promised that we will cause CIR to happen. We never promised that we will cause SKIL to happen. They all happen, mostly on their own. IV's role is to add amendments when they come and remove provisions that hurt us. We did that successfully last year by getting the hard country cap removed. No one else was interested in removing the hard cap. It took a lot of co-ordination and lot of trips and lot of hard work to get it done. If that harmful provision had stayed, then the new quota of 650,000 in S 2611 would have been useless. People forget achivements of IV or think that it was negligible. Retrogression would have been exacerbated with hard country cap.
You are reading the message right. I don't want IV to die. I am suggesting people with leadership skills to come forward and get SOME F**KING RESULTS. That is what is needed. It is do or die situation.
Yes, we know that your situation and a lot of other people's situation is do-or-die situation. We know that lot of visitors and members are being squeezed by their situation (exploiting employer, travel restrictions, naggin H4 spouse, no wage growth, no job mobility, no promotions) and that will end only when they get out of H1 and get GC. Its actually the do-or-die situation that prompted the creation of IV.
I am not a leader and I don't want to pretend that I am. I ask others who are not to step down and encourage the right people to take leadership positions.
That's what it seemed from your original post. And nothing wrong with that. If you are up to the job then you are welcome. We already have state-chapters and people are not actively participating in that. Last week, on California's state chapter conf call, 2 people came. If you take leadership, you need to do things locally like meeting with other people in your city, forming a group of 4-5 people and going and meeting your congressman. And if you want to be in IV core, then you have to call us on the phone number listed and we can see if you can add any value to core by doing things we routinely do, like content prep, website maint, travelling to DC for meetings, talking to other orgs etc. If you are up to the job, sure, why not. Anyone who considers themselves fit for IV core, please call us. We really do need help as we are overwhelmed.
I am a very dissatisfied member of IV. Are you satisfied with IV so far? Why doesn't everyone raise these questions? What has caused us to fail so far?
I am dissatisfied too with the results. Its not like I am a happy camper on H1. What has caused us to fail? The same thing that has caused us to fail last year, the same thing that caused industry to fail in getting H1 quota raised, the same thing that caused failure of Universities to get F4 visa for masters degree holders. And these guys have lobbying budget in millions? Why do you think they failed?
Whatever caused their failure, caused our failure too. In DC, issues are not debated and legislated based on morality and merits of those issues. They are taken up based on contemporary politics and other factors like lobbying, public attention, elections and political parties.
For example: Last year, they debated a constitutional amendment to ban flag burned in USA. And spent precious time of congress on debating it. How to you think that would have helped anyone? Even it had passed, what was the merit of the issue? Flag burned mostly happens outside USA. In USA people rarely burn US flags. So banning flag burning in USA is like banning metric system. Its meaningless. Yet, they spent time on it.
Read papers, read articles from other lobbying orgs and learn something. Legislations dont happen on their own because the issues carry weight and have merits. Merits have nothing to do with congressional action.
To quote a bestselling economist Steven Levitt :
"If morality is how we would like the world to work, economy is how the world actually works".
Same thing applies to US congress. They dont set their timetable of bills based on morality and merits. There are other factors.

CIR is going to be back for sure no doubt about it and when it comes back it is going to be the same bill. Harrry Reid is just creating a drama so that he can reduce the number of amendments introduced by the republicans. There are currently more than 30 to 40 amendments remaining, with this drama harry reid is trying to reduce the amendments to about 5 or 6 more amendments.
We should try something like applying for 485 without priority date but even the cantwell cornyn amendment does not have this provision
There is a SLIM chance that CIR might come back this year, but if this CIR is taken again with its current provision for the EB Category and H1B in it, it is very bad for many of us.
Plan B, I think must be, trying to insert or get some sort of SMALL provision that would alleviate the problem for vast majority of us, into some appropriation bill (Read some where there will be 11 appropriation bill taken up this summer) as the appropriation bill must have to pass for the government to function.
I would either try for filing AOS while visa numbers are not available with an extra fee of $1000… or recapture of unused visas from previous years and use them once without country limit might help. As long as we are not asking for some thing new or more, but like recapture, change of process to ease the current problem, etc might have a SMALL chance.

People were very happy with the last USCIS announcement but we all forgot about pain of people who are stuck in years of backlog. Though some of those unfortunate may have used harsh or improper language, but they had all the right to express their feelings. We all talk about Gandhian philosophy, but we need to be more tolerant. Before we ask to ban anyone from our forum, please try to put yourself in their shoes.
Our fight is far from over, we should all fight for for in-justice made to people who are trapped in the bureaucracy.
banning people is not the solution to the problem...live and let live...reasonbly

Here is news for you. It will not happen. People with ported PDs will take priority as their dates are in 2002, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005...
This year spillover will be used by porters. So hold off on your celebration and wait like everyone else.

Considering a new labor is approved in EB2 (through same or different employer), can another I-140 be filed with older EB3 PD? In that case what happens to already filed I-485 application (EB3)? Can it be adjusted with new I-140 in EB2? I was wondering if anyone has done that.

Anybody thinking of this ...........
I know there is a whole lot of people asking if they can do a Executive MBA or Masters and qualify for the US Masters exemption. My question is, what about someone who started and did his Masters in his field of labor application from a accredited university, after applying for EB3 labor, and now has labor and 140 approved but waiting for PD, will this person also qualify for US Masters, or will he have to start a new labor application based on the masters degree ?
Gurus, please answer.

Indeed it seems very few people are interested as most member may have their 485 submitted already. EB immigrants are a small minority of this country, yet we are only a small portion of this small minority. It is a sad fact, but it should not stop us from fighting..
Dear jchan,
We are very interested in this provision. Immigration Voice has heavily invested in this measure, both, legislatively and administrative. We have consistenly advocated for this provision which we believe will curb arm twisting by bad employers, that are like few bad apples in the big basket. Such a provision will help everyone including USCIS, lawyers, genuine companies, and direct+indirect beneficiary. Its a win-win for all.

Berry, Appleman & Leiden LLP is very good firm. I have very good experience with them. They completed all my paper work on Jun 30, so that they can file by July 2. Also the attorney and the para-legal were really good and replied to my questions patiently. The website is http://www.usabal.com/

During my GC process, they took good care of many issues and they are prompt in responding your questions, concerns. I strongly recommend www.usabal.com.

I recently applied under 0213. I agree process is not as complicated as it sounds also I am not sure what value add a lawyer will do apart from keying information from you in the forms. My suggestion - do it on your own. Use this forum Skilled Worker / Professional Immigration (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/skilled-worker-professional-immigration-b4.0/)
and this step by step guide
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf
Can you please provide the reference through whom you applied? I thought 0213 category is not eligible anymore.

I flew Air France once in 2003. My connecting flight from Paris to Delhi got delayed by 12 hours. When I approached the Air France staff, they told me that since I had an Indian passport, I would have to wait out the entire time in the transit area. Meanwhile, they proceeded to make arrangements for other non-Indian passengers. They even refused to acknowledge my attempts to reason with them, either not replying to me, or replying only in French. I filed a formal complaint afterwards, but never got a reply.
I have travelled on numerous times since then, but never with Air France. I don't even consider them as an option anymore.
I had a similar experience in 2004 when I took Air France for the first time (to Delhi, connecting at Paris). It was the last time I ever took Air France.

That's not right, you have to express consent before an employer can file on your behalf. Any filing without your consent MIGHT be misrepresentation or fraud.
LAR (Last action Rule) Employer 1 or Employer 100 can file H1B, even without your knowledge. Therfore, you dont worry.

Hi,
Last time I paid $305 for renewing my AP. Do I again need to pay that much to renew or is the renewal free?
Thanks in advance!
It depends when you applied your last AP. If you did apply during the July'07 fisaco, you need to pay $305.

Your's is not a valid argument - you didn't apply so other people shouldn't apply.

don't let attorneys / companies file for LC till PD is current. Release visa numbers in much in advance.
Say, EB2 India PD is Jul 2003 (or whatever it is now), allow EB2 LC first stage filing for those whose H1 is between the next 6 months, Aug 2003 to Dec 2003.
Its actually the strategy that is wrong. The numbersusa
, zazzona etc is also a very small group but they use
right strategy.
At one hand you support H1b increase and also want greencard reform.
Those are contradictory things. Unless IV starts working against further
H1B incease , then only Corp America will start working on EB reform.
actually thats the reason I like unitednations. Whats he says is very true
(yes not very pleasant)

How long do you have to work for the employer??
If your GC is based on EB-1 then it would be self petition and not based on employer based petition (EB-2). In that case you don't have to work for the employer after GC approval. Clarify with your attorney though.

Thanks to Logiclife for Linking to us from the Homepage of IV. A rare honor bestowed for the very first time to a fledgling state chapter. MI chapter shall forever be grateful!
Goes to show the importance of State Chapters to the IV Core and the IV strategy. And the kind of support we get from IV core to our activities.
